Canada 2010
This year, Christina, Heather, Jennifer and Scott, Chris and myself decided to make the cold trip North in search of some ice. For me that meant 3 trips, lots of driving but lots of fun.
The beautiful Bow river, mostly frozen. Christina and myself had a wonderful day ice skating on the river
Looking East towards the Three Sisters

Jennifer getting into te zone near Banff
Time to go climbing, Day one is a visit to the Junkyards, what a great place, the hike in is about 15 minutes and the drive is about 30 mins from the hotel. I can wake up at 7am and be climbing ice at 8am…the same day
Jennifer on the steepness
Jennifer swinging the Simond Naja’s, she sure make its look fun
This is what the Chateau looks like from an unusual vantage point….high up on Louise Falls
